Soybean Meal for Animal Feed Consumption

** Soybean meal is the most common plant protein supplement. The 44% crude protein soybean meal is the most common. Two other sources of soybean meal also are available: a dehulled soybean meal at 48% crude protein, and expeller or old processed soybean meal (42% crude protein and 5% oil). Soybean meal is highly palatable and has a moderate level of rumen undegradable protein (RUP). The most limiting amino acid to milk protein synthesis in soybean meal is methionine. **
